System, help me become the empress

Chapter 62 Public School Textbook
Du Zhiyi's family was so poor that sometimes they couldn't even get enough to eat, and the twenty taels he said were all the dowry brought by his late wife when she married him.

In the past, even when he was in the most embarrassing situation, Du Zhiyi never thought of this money. He always said that the money was reserved for the young lady in the family as a dowry when she got married.

"Du Shang's book is righteous." Xu Youxi sighed, "All the expenses for the construction of the public school this time will be paid by the imperial court. After Minister Rong sorts out the specific plan, he will ask me to collect the money."

There is no money in the national treasury. This is all the money Xu Youxi earned from doing business in the past few years. Originally, he planned to use this money to let the Shenji Camp develop well for a few years, but now it seems that national defense and education go hand in hand. .

"If you have something to play, you will retreat."

……

After Xu Youxi went to the morning court, he began to approve the memorial with great concentration.

Before she finished dealing with the matter at hand, she heard Zhou Yuxue whisper that Rong Yingran, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, had been waiting outside the hall for a long time.

"Let him in." Xu Youxi said, and simply cleaned up the memorial on the table.

Afterwards, the door of the imperial study room was opened, Rong Yingran, the minister of rites, strode in wearing a crimson official robe, with a gust of wind blowing by his side.

"It seems that Master Rong has planned for my treasury long ago?" Xu Youxi said abruptly.

Relying on her thick skin, Rong Yingran pretended not to notice that Xu Youxi was connoting herself: "Rong is so humble, how can he have the guts to plot against His Majesty?"

"Stop talking politely. How much money do you want to run a 'public school'?" Xu Youxi put down his pen and looked at Rong Yingran intently.

"Your Majesty, do you mean the cost of working and studying in the capital, or the entire capital?" Rong Yingran turned the question back to Xu Youxi.

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, what kind of appearance do you want the public school to present to the people? Is it a humble room with the inscription 'this is a humble room, but my virtue is good'? Magnificent? How much is the number of hope public schools..."

"Okay, you shut up."

Xu Youxi finally understands, what this guy said can be summed up in four words: the more the better.

Xu Youxi deliberated for a moment, and finally made up his mind: "I will invest 10 taels of silver first, and give you a pilot office school. After Grand Master Sun Muxue committed suicide, the court also liquidated some of his assets, and some properties are quite large. You Let’s see if it can be used first. If it doesn’t work, you can see if you can change it to an office school at the Princess Mansion.”

"I thank you, Your Majesty."

"You buy some tables, chairs and benches first, and recruit civil servants who are willing to give lectures in the imperial court. I think the Imperial Academy is usually very idle. Aren't they all Jinshi who have passed the scientific examinations over the years? Let them find time to go there."

Xu Youxi quickly sorted out the key points: "As for the specific teaching of the course, I will prepare it. Enlightenment for young children is a very important matter. When choosing a teacher, character is the priority, followed by talent."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Master Rong." Xu Youxi said earnestly, "As for the public school, I still hope that you can build the Efang Palace in the eyes of the common people, and the humble room inscription on funds."

"..."

Spend less money, still have to be tall?
After seeing off Rong Yingran, Xu Youxi opened the system mall to find textbooks suitable for children.

Xu Youxi originally planned to focus on mathematics and science first, but when she saw that the "Pinyin" teaching was included in the introductory introduction to Chinese, she was instantly moved.

[Ding, exchange for "Primary Chinese"*6]

[Ding, redeem "Primary School Mathematics"*6]

[Ding, redeem "Primary Science"*6]

These books must be purchased as a set, and each set costs 10 prestige points. Xu Youxi opened the sample of "Primary Chinese" and took a look. The pictures and illustrations inside are also antique and in line with current cognition and aesthetics.

Produced by the system, it is indeed a high-quality product.

I even bought three sets of primary school textbooks, and a movable type printing board was also included as a gift.

But who should teach it?
The first candidate that Xu Youxi thought of was Qiao Siye from the Imperial Academy.She also took a lot of classes in the Imperial College, and the only time she listened to Qiao Siye's lecture was the class summary in front of the city wall at the Shangyuan Festival.

After listening to so many lectures, only Qiao Siye's eloquent lectures are the most shocking.

and many more.

The Imperial Academy is idle, so how can there be half-baked boys like the Imperial College idle!Young people accept new things faster than middle-aged people, and they are more eager to develop their own value.

Xu Youxi called Yu Xuejing to find a 'printer' to process the textbooks, and he himself was going to bring three finished textbooks to the Imperial College to talk to Qiao Siye about the cooperation plan.

The next day.

Guozijian, it's time for class.

It was none other than Teacher Zhu who walked in at the door, who was holding a stool and searching for the corner of the classroom. He was followed by Teacher Zhu who taught riding and archery, and he moved the stool and sat in Teacher Zhu's place. Next to it; next is the teacher who talks about rites and music, and the six arts...

In a small classroom, 23 teachers came in one after another.

He Muqing looked at Pei Yao beside her with a puzzled face: "Why are all the teachers sitting in our class?"

"I didn't hear my adoptive father mention it, maybe something happened."

The last person to enter the classroom was Qiao Siye. The white beard on his face was trembling, and he even moved a stool in his hand.

Fortunately, Qiao Siye didn't seem to plan to sit under the stage, but placed the stool upright on the podium, and then used a clean cloth to wipe the podium several times carefully.

"Today's class is very important, because it's all completely unfamiliar content, everyone study hard and take good notes." Qiao Siye stroked his beard, highlighted a few key points, and then walked off the podium.

What do you mean?
Didn't Qiao Siye come to this class?
Seeing Qiao Siye stepping off the podium, a teacher hurriedly gave up his seat, but Qiao Siye was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "Do you think I'm too old to stand still?"

When Xu Youxi came in with the textbook, Bao Youjin quickly waved for Xu Youxi to sit down.

Xu Youxi smiled, but didn't go there, but went straight to the podium.

"I'll take today's class." Xu Youxi simply explained, "Minister of Rites, Rong Yingran, proposed to establish Dagan Public School in the early court to recruit private children aged six to ten, regardless of gender, for unified teaching. At present , This remonstrance has been approved, and in the near future, the first public school founded by the Daqian court will appear in Shangjing."

"Public school teachers will come from Guozijian, including but not limited to Guozijian teachers. The course I taught today is the content of the books that public school teachers use to enlighten young children. Anyone who is willing can apply for public school teachers. If you are selected, you will enjoy a salary at least as a ninth-rank official."

As soon as Xu Youxi finished speaking, the disciples immediately couldn't help talking.

"No matter what the noise is, it's all quiet."

Qiao Siye warned the group of disciples sharply.

"Now the lectures are very simple. If you have any doubts, you can ask me questions after class." Xu Youxi will write 26 letters of paper in advance and hang them up one by one. "These are called 'Chinese Pinyin'..."

Half an hour later, Xu Youxi successfully taught the teacher and disciples who were sitting below to doubt their lives.

Facing the bewildered gazes under the podium, Xu Youxi asked with some uncertainty: "Qiao Siye, do you understand?"

Qiao Siye frowned: "I can understand, and I can barely remember the pronunciation of pinyin, but I'm afraid it will take time to practice if I want to master it proficiently."

"Okay...the textbook will be sent to the Imperial College tomorrow, and the explanations are very detailed. Everyone can study by themselves."

The setback in the teaching of "Primary Chinese" made Xu Youxi lose the confidence to continue to finish elementary school mathematics and science.

The lectures are not as interesting as the memorials!
Alas, I am indeed only suitable to be an emperor, not a teacher!
